Last week, the contract was approved by SHARE members with a 95% “Yes” vote! We had pretty good turnout too – 57% of SHARE members voted. Thanks to everyone who came out to vote, or in some cases came IN to vote on their day off. Participation makes our union strong.

The next steps are:

Update the old contract with the new language – in process

The SHARE and UMMS negotiating teams sign the updated contract

UMMS and UMass system leadership sign the updated contract

HR Compensation calculates what everyone is owed and sends it to Payroll
